And Now, GAME OF THRONES’ Beric, Tormund, Jorah, and The Hound Sing with Banjos

There aren’t many things one can say to soothe the pains of the never-ending wait we’re about to endure for the final season of Game of Thrones. It’s going to be long and filled with many a spoiler (we’re sure), and with no confirmed premiere date in sight, it will be frought with worry and wonder about the fate of some of our favorites. At the top of our worry list? Tormund Giantsbane and Beric Dondarrion, who just so happen to star in this charming Instagram video—alongside The Hound and Ser Jorah—posted by our ginger prince beyond the Wall.

While on set, likely filming the penultimate episode of the season, “Beyond the Wall,” actors Rory McCann (The Hound), Iain Glenn (Ser Jorah of House Friendzone), Richard Dormer (Ser Beric Dondarrion), and Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) were just sitting around, shootin’ the proverbial shit, and likely in want of entertainment while waiting for the crew to reset the scene. So, naturally, they did what any good group of multi-hyphenate talents do: they break out the instruments and into song.

Forget the Brotherhood Without Banners, we’re all about the Brotherhood With Banjos:

The song they’re singing? “I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love with You” by Tom Waits. Which, if you think about it, is sort of the perfect tune for certain members of this brigade (ahemJORAHahem) to sing. “Well I hope that I don’t fall in love with you / ‘Cause falling in love just makes me blue (LIKE A WHITE WALKER?) / Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see (a la NISSA NISSA BEFORE SHE DIED?!) / I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me / And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.” (If only Jon Snow were in earshot, he could’ve learned a thing or two about who you should and should not love.)
